Supreme Court clears way for Trump to gut education department – live updates
The supreme court has cleared the way for Donald Trump’s administration to resume dismantling the Department of Education -- part of his effort to shrink the federal government’s role in education in favor of more state control.
In the latest high court win for Trump, the justices lifted a federal judge’s order that had reinstated nearly 1,400 workers affected by mass layoffs at the department and block…

What Factors Affect LLMs and RLLMs in Financial Question Answering?
Recently, the development of large language models (LLMs) and reasoning large language models (RLLMs) have gained considerable attention from many researchers. RLLMs enhance the reasoning capabilities of LLMs through Long Chain-of-Thought (Long CoT) processes, significantly improving the performance of LLMs in addressing complex problems. However, there are few works that systematically explore what methods can fully unlock the performance of LLMs and RLLMs within the financial domain. To inves…

The final presentation at the SEC 2025 - https://www.vvs.be/subsite/sec-2025/programme - was by Mariusz Krukar about the Impact of solar eclipses on twilight. He called the 1990 observations by Geyer et al. - https://opg.optica.org/ao/abstract.cfm?uri=ao-33-21-4614 (don't know of any OA version) - the best so far while in https://eeq.astro-geo-gis.com/2024-2/ he had predictions for 2024. The next SEC will probably be in 2029 - no location decided yet. 19/19

Beyond N-Grams: Rethinking Evaluation Metrics and Strategies for Multilingual Abstractive Summarization
Automatic n-gram based metrics such as ROUGE are widely used for evaluating generative tasks such as summarization. While these metrics are considered indicative (even if imperfect) of human evaluation for English, their suitability for other languages remains unclear. To address this, we systematically assess evaluation metrics for generation both n-gram-based and neural based to evaluate their effectiveness across languages and tasks. Specifically, we design a large-scale evaluation suite acr…
